Sunshine by Little Dragon

Sunshine by Little Dragon

Swedish electronic band Little Dragon lead by Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano released a music video for their single “Sunshine”. The song inspired by ABSOLUT PUNCH gets the royal treatment in a visually-stunning video with a multi-dimensional cocktail experience. The goal is to bring consumers an experience with new music, custom cocktails, and digital elements aimed at enriching their nightlife. You can get the single on Sunshine - Sunshine - Single or amazon.

The concept is not unlike Ne-Yo’s Burnin’ Up video, which revolved around Malibu Red. Expect to see more collaborations between beverage companies and music artists in the near future.

Lyrics to Sunshine by Little Dragon

You were my sunbeam when skies are dark
You got me flying way beyond
‘Cause I’ve been wandering and feeling lost
Now, like whirlwind, you put a spell on me

Have been dragging my feet along sleepless everday
I couldn’t figure out a thing
Until your lightbeam came crashing in
Waited five seconds, soaked in some magic, shoot across
To transform my every loss, but then you can storming

You were my sunbeam when skies are dark
You got me flying way beyond
‘Cause I’ve been wandering and feeling lost
Now, like whirlwind, you put a spell on me

Your electric ways had me right then
Me and my ghost of the past, get him tied down
Waited five seconds, soaked in some magic, come across
To transform my every loss, but then you can storming in

You were my sunbeam when skies are dark
You got me flying way beyond
‘Cause I’ve been wandering and feeling lost
Now, like whirlwind, you put a spell on me

Pinterest can be a very addictive site. In the short Pinsanity!, Petunia (played by Deborah S. Craig) takes things a little too far with the pinning. She’s got an addictive pinning habit that’s hard to break. It’s creepy not only for friends, but also for strangers. When you go crazy with that push pin, you might not have many friends left.

The 2012 Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF) announced the lineup for the films showing July 25 – August 5, 2012 with screenings at Clearview Chelsea Cinemas, Asia Society and Museum, and The Museum of Chinese in America. In addition to the Opening, Closing and Centerpiece Presentations – SHANGHAI CALLING, KNOTS, and SUPERCAPITALIST, they revealed its full lineup with more than half of the Festival selections made or co-produced in the US. Many are first time directors, including actress turned director Lily Mariye’s MODEL MINORITY, telling the story of an underprivileged teenage girl surviving the treacherous world of peer pressure, drug dealers and dysfunctional families in L.A. There are also a number of returning filmmakers, including H.P. Mendoza’s horror film I AM A GHOST, about a girl trapped in a repetitive routine in Victorian times. And Rich Wong’s raunchy new film YES, WE’RE OPEN, a sharp-witted comedy about a modern couple testing their boundaries of love, sex and honesty.

Other films of note include Pearls of the Far East, Seeking Asian Female, Touch, Viette, and plenty of shorts. You can get tickets here before screenings are sold out.
